In-person tutoring has consistently shown to enhance student outcomes through many research studies. This effective approach involves small-group sessions, where the curriculum is strategically aligned with academic standards and facilitated by trained tutors.
Contrary to being remedial, high-dosage tutoring is centered around scaffolding educational content. This method enables students to engage with new concepts while simultaneously reinforcing and expanding their existing knowledge and skills.
In the 2024–2025 school year, 4404 students participated in math HeyTutor tutoring, and 4247 students participated in ELA HeyTutor tutoring. Of the math students, the number testing at or above grade level grew 51.32% from beginning-to-end of program. For ELA students, this grew by 53.96%.
In-Person, High-Frequency Sessions for Enhanced Learning
Our tutoring is conducted in person, emphasizing the importance of face-to-face interactions in learning. We offer regular, intensive sessions, often multiple times a week, to ensure deep and effective engagement with the material. This method fosters a profound understanding and retention of concepts.
Tailored One-on-One and Small-Group Sessions
We provide personalized instruction through both one-on-one and small-group formats, ensuring that each student's unique needs are met. Our in-person sessions allow for direct, meaningful interactions, facilitating a learning environment that is both supportive and effective. This approach ensures every student receives focused attention and guidance.

"[The biggest benefit of HeyTutor was] providing an intervention group for a specific group of students. These students needed this small-group instruction and personalized attention offered by "Hey Tutor"! They were comfortable with their tutor and engaged in learning."
"This year we got three very dedicated, skilled tutors. These tutors have been willing to get trained and have taken feedback to improve their practice! Our data is showing that our students are progressing thanks to them."
"My students were the biggest beneficiaries of the HeyTutor this year. [The tutors were] able to make connections with students and really help them with essays and other major projects. They were great at helping the students who were farthest [sic] behind and building student confidence."
"HeyTutor provided valuable tutoring during the school day. The tutors were great at giving the students strategies to use on later assignments, supporting bilingual learners and improving classroom management. We can also easily see a return on investment through HeyTutor’s data reporting."
"Our tutors adjusted to our specific needs. They easily adapted to our new model for our reading intervention groups. They were reliable, on time, and most importantly had experience teaching. They truly cared for our students and their academic growth. They have been great to work with."
"[HeyTutor reduced my workload] by sending highly-trained tutors to our school who already were prepared on what material to teach. [The biggest benefit of the program] was supporting bilingual learners and helping the students who were furthest behind."
